I can't believe you are asking that from the city that designed it.

Deep fried Mars bars were first sold in Montrose, which
is not "a city".

Can you support that claim? A recent Hairy Bikers program had them sampling 
it in a chippy in Stonehaven which claimed to be the originators.

If that's something to be proud of, it doesn't say much for Scottish 
cuisine!

Hairy Bikers isn't a program I've watched much. The episode from 
Oxfordshire was the first I've ever watched and they spend the first part 
of the program asking people to name a regional speciality and coming up 
with a lot of blank looks. Oxfordshire sausage (which was what they then 
cooked for the public in Henley) was almost the only thing suggested, and 
isn't something most people have heard of.

The Aberdeenshire program spent that same segment listing lots of regional 
specialities: apart from the deep fried Mars bars there were (and 
I probably missed some) macaroon bars, tablet, skirlie, beef olives 
(stuffed with haggis or skirlie), stovies, and rowies (which are what they 
then cooked). None of that exactly stands out as healthy eating, but 
compared with the lack of original ideas from the other program shows 
Aberdeenshire at least has a cuisine.

given that the british trad cusine was invented for people to work
narrowboats and ploughs in the cold and rain (or mine tin) and the scots
one more so, nobody should expect it to be "healthy" in the modern sense. A
suet pudding or a yorkshire were good inventions for their time but are not
suitable daily fare for bankers* or advertising executives

They hadn't been invented/discovered when I moved down South so I've not 
had the pleasure.

Deep fried pizza on the other hand was common enough when I was young, even 
if I did once have one that had been battered and fried while still in its 
plastic wrapper.

   Yes. A friend who owns a pub/restaurant  near Glasgow (all good 
food, made on the premises, cooked to order from fresh)  told me that as
an ironic joke, he had put DFMB on the  bar and restaurant menu and was
amazed at the  demand. When  I confessed  I'd never actually tasted one
he insisted on cooking a freebie there and then . It was absolutely
delicious; light and crisp on the outside and meltingly gooey within.  

He uses those tiny mars bars about 4cm long;  and the same (excellent) 
beer batter he uses for fish.

Wasn't there a Monty Python sketch that ended: "At last a beer with the 
taste of fish" ?

We snigger at it but there are plenty of recipes on this side of the pond 
that use caramel bars similar to Mars as a topping for ice-cream or 
brownies.

Apropos.
Just heard a delightful hour-long interview of Richard Dawkins on the CBC 
Radio religious program: http://www.cbc.ca/tapestry/
Food for the mind!

Work Rest and Play Pudding (melted Mars Bar on vanilla ice) was popular here 
last century but I havent seen it on a menu for about 20 years.

Yep. Physical work which burned up the fats. Modern office-based workers,
bankers or otherwise, don't do enough physical exercise for that.

You can say that again, Jane.  I find it a continual struggle to get 
enough exercise, despite walking the dog twice a day in all weathers. 
Talking of which, last Friday evening we were walking with the dog 
through Grovelands park near where we live and as we walked round the 
back of the 'lake' we saw a green fishing tent in front of which, 
crouched over a primus stove, was a young chap of around 17 years of age 
stirring a pan of food.  It was going dark and as the park is locked at 
7pm atm, I was curious as to whether or not he would be staying the 
night, so I asked him. When he said yes, I replied 'aren't you scared' 
and a voice came from within the tent, 'no - he has his big brother to 
look after him'.  I really can't see the attraction of fishing but 
thought that was lovely.
